Dreams Research and History

No
group of scientists or psychologists has ever produced a definition of
dreaming that any other
group agreed with. Ergo, there is no biological
reason for, or definition of dreaming.

Some information we can
agree on is that generally dreams are associated with a type of sleep
known as REM sleep, when the brain is as close to the waking state as
it can be and still provide rest. However, researchers agree about the
time when dreams are most prolific and the strongest.

It is not
known which aspect of the brain controls dreams or whether there is in
fact an aspect of
the brain that controls them. It is also unknown why
dreams occur.
Dreaming is a necessary aspect of our lives actually.

Both Freud and Jung said that dreams are an interaction
between our
conscious and our unconscious.
They also believe almost as one unit on
this subject that the dominant aspect of the dream is the unconscious.
It is in fact finding a way to let the conscious mind know of its own
state of awareness.

Jung also believed that the bizarre aspects of the dream
were a
language all their own, which he
compared to poetry and stated that
they were "uniquely capable of revealing" the dreams’ meaning.
Many
companies, groups and psychics have over the years made a reasonable
living at offering dream interpretations. Yet no one is certain that
this is possible. Certain key aspects of a dream may relate
to a given
event but even that is not a certainty.
